People trying it on



  PH1 172 Sport
When my friend at work had an M3 the performance difference between it and my clio was laughable. Trying it on with an M3 in a clio isn't worth the fuel!!

I do however get people trying it on quite allot. Lately it seems to be 3 series drivers who I assume think I'm in a 1.2 with a sport exhaust. The look on there faces when they can't lose a clio is priceless.

i normally find it is only when i drive quietly that people have a go, when i'm pushing on no one seems to bother.


same here, thing is, I find other clio owners are the worst, my 197 seems to find every arse in a 172 possible. It seems the cheaper the 172 gets, the more the chav brigade are buying them, which is a shame.

When I first got the 197 I thought everything was having a go, now I just ignore it (unless it looks intresting). I would rather race something faster than "prove" something to a slower car.
 
  Ph1 Clio V6, Ph2 172
I get alot of people egging me on in the Vee even at low speeds. With the QS Supersport exhaust it makes it even worse with all the popping and banging. The funniest thing I find is to let the VTR's, Gti's, etc rape the life out of there little motors while I go through the box in to 6th using no more than 2500rpm.........when they reckon they are doing well, I just drop it into 3rd, look over at them, smirk, and then its bye bye! lmao Great fun

Not a clio but my 1.5 yaris t sport gets every c**t and his wife on it round here, loads of chavs round here anyway but them they see a yaris and think 'grandad cars, easy victory innit laaa'. It's not mega fast but it's faster than your average car and VTRs etc. Don't always race but sometimes I will if it looks interesting like had a 1.8 Audi a3 try it, was even to about 40 then I eased past him slowly, he came to the petrol station with me and was chatting to me asking what I'd done to it etc. Like it when ppl take an interest and have a laugh about it.

On the otherside of the scale I've had 2 bellends, both vectras chase me after they've tried it on and I've overtaken them.

Ali took me out in his z4m at the weekend and the acceleration is immense. Proper neck throwing back job. Although the cup is quick it doesnt come close.

i lol'd at, Fuckin hell, my arse is roasting, has this thing got bum warmers! ha!

172 is a nippy wee car, but not unbeatable! Knowing that tunability of them, i'd be more comforatble takin on a 172 than a chav'd up corsa or starlet etc! you just never know whats been done to them!!

i feel left out never get anyone up my arse

:-\

I had a new civic up my arse on saturday, he pulled out to over take, I just put my foot down and left him for dead, always better comedy value when you can see they've got a bird sat in the car lol
 
I get this too, Maybe it's a Kent thing :cool:

Must be. Although, I spanked a corsa B 1.2 sxi up a motorway slip road on Saturday night.

Tbh, he was all out of puff before I'd got out of 2nd ;) I felt like a big man for all of 2 miles.

I don't bother havin a go with any car tbh, just can't be bothered lol. Rather save on fuel, keep my license & avoid killing someone then spend all my time tryin to prove a point to some chav for a couple of minutes tbh. At 26 I just don't see the piont in waving a banner sayin my c**k's bigger than yours!. Childish me thinks!.

Thats not to say I haven't. I have (when I had my TF160 etc...) some years ago, but now I don't bother.

Luckily chavs don't look after their cars so they will be crashed or knackered in very little time.
 
  None
I think one of the best parts is not blasting away chavs in corsa's and saxo's but the look on peoples faces when they don't know what an RS clio actually is and they clock the 2.0 16v bullet on the side of the car, then they just stare until you're out of sight :)
